Hull KR will be without Thomas Minns on Saturday when they take on Bradford Bulls at the Summer Bash.

Head coach Tim Sheens confirmed the Robins will be without Thomas Minns in Blackpool after the centre picked up a knee ligament injury in last Sunday's 42-18 win over Swinton Lions at KCOM Craven Park.

Minns is expected to be out for around eight weeks, meaning he will likely miss the rest of the regular season but Sheens is hoping the outside back returns for the middle 8s ready to give Rovers the boost they need at that time of the season.

"So we've got to fill that hole, I don't really want to say who with at the moment, I'll let Bradford worry about that but at least the bonus will be that he will be back for the middle 8s. The same as James Greenwood.

"They'll be back at the same time, and George Lawler will also be back at the same time, so they'll all be fresh and ready to play."

Kieran Moss, Danny Addy and Liam Salter have all been included for the trip to Bloomfield Road this weekend.

Elsewhere, Will Oakes and Brad Clavering are the other two players to miss out.
